Movies Paranormal Activity 2

I quite enjoyed the suspenseful break out hit that was Paranormal Activity. It may not be the scariest film ever like some have claimed but it definitely had a way of getting under your skin. It's low budget and "less is more" approach really created a convincing mockumentary.

Not being content to let homicidal ghosts get any peace it seems that a sequel is on the way.

I also noticed on wikipedia that the original cast is returning which, if you seen the original

seems impossible since Mica is dead. Perhaps they'll be going the route of possesions.

Paranormal Activity is one of those films that didn't really need a sequel so I'll be suprised if I actually take much from it. Hopefully there will be some good enough scares but can it really live up to the original? the first one came out of nowhere and took people by suprise. The sequel won't have that advantage.

Oh wow. I've not heard of a sequel. I couldn't agree with you more. It was not the scariest movie ever, but the low budget approach did give it a creep-factor. There were good two or three times were I got a fright followed by uncontrollable laughter at just how much my friend got scared by it. Good times.

I will definitely be seeing the sequel (with that same friend for the cheap thrills it provides me with). The only thing I can think of is that they will pull out all the stops and make more freaky bits throughout the duration of the movie, which would really be a shame actually. The dog makes a difference to me as well. I am scared for the dog. :lol:

You make a good point about the old characters (first movie spoiler)

...and if you saw the alternative ending, they are both very dead!

Should be interesting to see where they go with this. Maybe it will become like the next SAW and we will have a thread going one day about Paranormal Activity 28! :rofl:

This is the first of the films I saw last night. Got to say it was weird and I didn't really understand the narrative. It was bit boring and had a Big Brother type format. Not for me and is it heck spooky lol
